[SunHELP] Strange file permission after upload with ftp

[Simon Jespersen]

Hi fellow solaris folks!

I have this strange problem on my ftp server running solaris 8, with the
proftpd server.

the proftpd server runs as the nobody user by default.
i created a ellentft user.

When this user uploads files the uploaded file is owned by a third user
called bb and har member of group users, whch is used for the bigbrother
monitoring system.

There is no configuration sisue in the proftpd regarding this!
the umask for this ftp client is set to 222


my passwd file looks like this
